Voting Rights in Virginia Elections

Last updated: September 9, 2025 09:55 am

A capitol building is surrounded by a "Vote" sticker and a hand that enters a ballot into a ballot box.

On November 4, 2025, Virginia will go to the polls to determine our country’s future. But you have the chance to vote for more candidates than just the Governor of Virginia this fall.

Your vote up and down the ticket — for the Attorney General, Virginia House of Delegates, and local offices — will shape the future of the Commonwealth and determine whether we live in a Virginia where we’re free to control our own bodies. Where we’re free to love who we love. Where we’re free to read what we want to read.

A Virginia for all.

Make a plan. Tell your friends. Act. Vote.

As a nonpartisan organization working for the civil rights and civil liberties for all Virginians, the ACLU of Virginia will be there every step of the way.

All three amendments to Virginia’s Constitution supported by ACLU of Virginia move forward

"Protecting Virginians’ rights will require amending Virginia’s constitution. Today was the first step of this legislative session in a multi-year process, one that will culminate in Virginians themselves voting on whether to enshrine core civil rights safely out of reach of partisan politics."
